Today in our garden, fresh from the camera :D
Australian Emerald dragonfly- Hemicordulia australiae
Family Hemicorduliidae

This was a very hard shot to take!
The butterfly did not perched for a second moving the wings at high speed. The natural light was harsh so setting the camera on aperture priority was not an option.
I set the camera on shutter speed priority and focus at 9 points which means that the exposure was only on the butterfly and the back ground will be under exposed.
The result it is an effect like if a reflector is on the insect with a black BG.
The critical point it is that the flower will have some hot spots which have to be toned down on PP.
I just have done my best considering conditions and little time to set the shot. :)
Dingy Swallowtail or Small Citrus Butterfly
Papilio anactus

You guys are champs ! I thought they'd all be taken from tripods as a steady hand would be needed but apparently not using a tripod . I guess there woudln;t be time anyway.
Thanks mate, my shots of the Golden Orb-Weaver and the black gouse spider are using the 6T closep lens on the 70-300VR and are taken using a tripod.Quote:

The butterflies and the Dragon fly are taken without the 6T so the tripod it is not required providing that high SS is used.
95 % of my flora, birds and insects shots are taken in my 500 m2 native garden :)
It is fun :)
This is an Australian native stingless bee which it is about 4 mm long in a grevillea Lana Maree flower.

Im just waiting for you guys to post up a photo of a single celled amoeba... :angel:
Nice photos, great view of the world we dont often see.
This is the head of a Common Eggfly butterfly. The image is uncroped and the shot taken handheld on a windy day using the Nikon 6T.
My apologies for a bit of movement on the chin but the tongue is sharp :)
